>>It must be heart-breaking to a US citizen to hear that, 3 years after the war, 100 US soldiers killed in Iraq in the last month. That's turning into a serious figure (and that's just this last month!) and has to smack of Vietnam. Similarly, there were, I think, c. 10 British squaddies killed in Afghanistan last month - and that smarts! UK losses seem to be about 1/10 of the US in this War on Terror but, given the force is only about 1/10 of the US force, then the losses are comparable.

To paraphrase a well-known saying: "Many a RUE word spoken in HASTE"
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
